This pattern features bark cells in birch (Betula) dyed for microscopy in the laboratory. Birch bark cells contain a molecule called betulin, which may protect birch trees against pathogenic fungi and microorganisms. Betulin also gives the bark its typical white color.

Do you fancy using it as a tote bag or as a cushion cover? One product, two choices!

The product is available as 2nd choice at a reduced price, where the pattern isn’t printed straight on the grain-line of the fabric (see picture). The functionality of the bag is still flawless despite the print error.
